- “The soul of the game is just not there anymore either; no one talks anymore. I actually haven't even heard your classic mic spam in the start of the game in a little while, so I had to call it quits, and never thought I'd miss music being blasted on repeat in the choppers.... *sigh* sadly while I loved the game previously, now I wouldn't recommend it.”
- “The text chat is insufferable and people only use the mic to blast music and whine for medics, no real communication or call-outs.”
